Best-selling Brazilian novelist Paulo Coelho has been a longtime supporter of the illegal downloading of his work.

Now, he’s joining forces with The Pirate Bay, calling himself “The Pirate Coelho,” and asking readers to download everything that he has ever written from the file-sharing site.

Coelho explains, “ The more people ‘pirate’ a book, the better. If they like the beginning, they’ll buy the whole book the next day, because there’s nothing more tiring than reading long screeds of text on a computer screen.”
